Jonathan González:
Writing with Drift

Writing with Drift is a 90-minute virtual writing workshop designed for writers working across genres. Drawing from my choreographic research, the session approaches writing as a practice that moves with interruption and redirection rather than against them. Through guided prompts, writing intervals, and optional reflection, participants will recognize how syntax and language can emerge from reorientation. The emphasis is on process, with invitations rather than requirements to share.
Jonathan González is a choreographer, artist, and writer. Working across choreography, sound, image, and text, González explores how embodied practices shape spatial, cultural, and perceptual experience. Their work will be featured in both the 2026 Whitney Biennial and the 59th Carnegie International, and they are the author of Ways to Move: Black Insurgent Grammars, published by Ugly Duckling Presse in 2025.
